Description

Drumblade House was built in 1824 as a parish manse. It is a two-storey building with three bays, featuring a central door with a fanlight. The ground floor has tripartite windows that are said to date from 1910, and there are a pair of piended canted dormers that may also date from around the same time. The house has recessed low flanking wings and is constructed from rubble with squared dressings. It has sash windows, mostly with a four-pane glazing pattern, and end stacks, all topped with slate roofs.
